When author Walter Kolosky released his updated eBook edition of Power, Passion and Beauty - The Story of the Legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra last year, he included some great additional material culled from new interviews he conducted with several high-profile musicians. One of those musicians was iconic guitar legend Carlos Santana. However, as is often the case with such endeavors, Walter's interview with Santana yielded more material than was needed for the project it was intended for.
I was thrilled when Walter reached out to me about the prospect of presenting this additional Santana interview material in an exclusive feature for the Guitar Channel. The piece is now complete and posted (via the link below), and it's a wonderful read. Santana not only provides insight on his collaborations with Mahavishnu Orchestra founder John McLaughlin, but on numerous other topics as well. Many thanks to Walter for providing this well written, fantastic feature for GC readers.
